T-Rex: Time for me to invent a new emotion! THIS emotion is for when you're nostalgic for a time you were never alive in, like when a chick is nostalgic for the time of pirates! Or, when a dude misses being a 16th century courtesan.
T-Rex: It also happens when folks spend a lot of time wishing they could be Shakespeare's Pal!
Dromiceiomimus: But you can't really invent a new emotion-
T-Rex: Dromiceiomimus, let me just stop you there. If you're going to say that emotions are FELT, not invented, and that as I couldn't "invent" gravity so too can I not invent a feeling, but merely observe and perhaps label it, then that is a good point that I should have considered myself.
Dromiceiomimus: Alright!
Utahraptor: So what's this specific breed of nostalgia called?
T-Rex: Protonostalgia!
T-Rex: Protonostalgia is a proper subclass of nostalgia. It's a new feeling for a new generation.
Utahraptor: But "proto" implies "before" - couldn't there be a better name for this?
T-Rex: Perhaps your opinions will change... when you check out my ULTRASWEET poster!
